So, in all of the discussions surrounding the quiet and outspoken kids, we hope that you have concluded that there is no right or wrong with each type. There are benefits and drawbacks to each sort and we sincerely hope that you were able to get some tips to assist both quiet and outspoken kids in this episode.
This is a perfect springboard into our next discussion theme for the 2021 year which is "Know Thyself". It is impossible to communicate effectively without FIRST knowing yourself.
Please feel free to take this personality test so that you will have a good idea of where you and/or your child fits into the discussion as we begin to digest helping you to know yourself. This month will be your personality and how you process your information. The Myers-Briggs test is a great baseline, but certainly not the "end all" of what a person is. It's a good starting point.

In the upcoming weeks we will be discussing the benefits of knowing yourself and how you can get the most out of interaction with life through effective communication on all levels.
The current school system is archaic and broken as so many kids hate school, and young adults have shared with us on numerous occasions about how unprepared they are for a life beyond academics.
Brittany and I have a tag team approach with the aim of bridging the gap between school and home by educating parents and teachers (who are still in the classroom) of some things that can be done to ultimately help the kids succeed.
We realize there are NUMEROUS obstacles for classroom teachers (pointless meetings that can easily be put in a memo, state and federal "guidelines" as well as individual school policies and procedures). How can teachers even do their jobs when they have their hands tied with so much political red tape?
Then there are the personal everyday family struggles on SO MANY levels that impede learning before the students EVEN REACH the classroom.
Our Aim is to assist you all, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY to helping you all get the MOST out of life and your education and to maneuver around that red tape. We can get far by calling out the problems and starting the conversations that should have been started long ago, but more importantly to develop solutions.
